Because you give me your time
Because you tell me you care
You think you comfort me
You like to think that it matters
All your meaningless chatter -
But you don't talk to me
I'd like to know why we waste time
With what's yours and what's mine
JUST PACK IT UP
I'm not a child anymore
I'm not crying for toys
So you can PACK IT UP
So don't you pity me
I'm not seeking your sympathy
And don't leave me anything
I'm not taking your charity
I've made a pact with myself
So now I don't need your help
Because my will is strong
Don't you try to defend
Don't try to tie my loose ends -
Stop dragging me along
Now I've opened my eyes
And I'm not going to subside
I'm made of concrete now
And what you think is a smile
Is simply confident guile
I'm made of concrete now
So don't you pity me
I'm not seeking your sympathy
And don't leave me anything
I'm not taking your charity
